After starting a process from third party application by hitting the service of the model published, how can I view the task created in an Embedded Form? I know we have a taskId created, but how do I access that value to pass to my embedded form?

You can create a WebAPI to query tasks by the process id returned by the web service call.

Check
forum.appian.com/.../Process_Reports.html
. Then you use queryprocessanalytics() to query this report. It returns the data in any format you like, including the task id.

Yes. A process report, or portal report in pre 7.11, lets you gather data from the process executions engines. A process report is different from a tempo report. It acts as a datasource similar to a database when using queryentity().

There is a custom function getActiveTaskIDsForProcess(), you can use it in your WebAPI. Here is the link to the custom function,

Ok - to join everything together on this question and expand on the previous one, you'll need to create a process report that runs in the context of the process model that is being started and shows the task ID within that process, then create a Web API that accepts a process ID and uses a!queryProcessAnalytics() to obtain and return the task ID from the aforementioned report.
The documentation you'll need is linked below; you may also want to look at the task report tutorial if you're struggling with a!queryProcessAnalytics().
